From the last couple of months, we are seeing several leaks about the POCOPHONE. Today, the company has teased the POCOPHONE sub-brand for the global markets. However, this new sub-brand might be just called as POCO in India. As of now, there isn’t much information available about the POCOPHONE or POCO. As seen in leaks, the first smartphone under this new sub-brand will be called POCOPHONE F1.

We expect the company to sell only the premium smartphones under the POCO or POCOPHONE series. While the company is selling the Mi MIX 2S smartphone outside of China, the flagship Mi 8 is only limited to the Chinese market. From the leaked videos, the front of the POCOPHONE F1 also looks similar to the Mi 8. While the Mi 8 came with glass back body, the POCOPHONE will be coming metal unibody design.

Today is a special day. I'm excited to start sharing more about the new project I've been working on. Wish me luck! @IndiaPOCO@GlobalPocophone

Along with the rear-facing fingerprint sensor, the device will also come with more IR face unlock. It will also come equipped with the liquid cooling system.

It might come with Android 8.1 Oreo-based MIUI 9 out of the box. In terms of optics, the device will feature 12MP + 5MP dual rear cameras and a single 20MP front camera. The POCOPHONE F1 will be backed by a 4,000mAh battery and supports Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 fast charging technology.
